Title: Range limited projectile
Inventor: WHITE CHARLES O
IPC: F42B10/22
Filed: 1998-08-24
Granted: 2007-05-01
Abstract: A training projectile (10) that utilizes flutes (120) or flats (220) to augment roll damping characteristics and thereby cause the projectile to crossover into a gyroscopically unstable trajectory pattern at a predetermined time. Prior to the crossover, the training projectile maintains a gyroscopically stable trajectory while enables extrapolation to ascertain the trajectory of a non-training projectile that does not have an augmented roll damping section (100). The unstable trajectory pattern substantially reduces the distance the training projectile (10) can traverse, thereby reducing the amount of area required for a training range.

Granted: 2005-03-08
Abstract: A method for position finding of an automated guided vehicle using detection of angle positions for anonymous reflectors (R1-R11). The anonymous reflectors are arranged in positions in a limited transport area, and the positions are stored. A concentrated been (B) is emitted from a vehicle (10) and is made to pass over a search sector. The angle position in relation to a reference direction (D) of the vehicle (10) in reflective objects is continually detected during the sweep of the beam over the search sector, and corresponding angle values are determined. Initially the Following measures are taken for association of the angle positions to physical reflectors, and for determination of the position of the vehicle (10): i) at least three angle values with a suitable distribution over the search sector is selected, ii) the angle values are associated to reflectors and a position is determined for the vehicle on the basis of the known position of the reflectors, iii) if the vehicle position determined in this way is within a certain part of the transport area the other angle values are associated to reflectors, iv) for each angle value, existing deviation is determined between detected angle values and angle values expected between the vehicle position and known reflectors, v) the measures taken are repeated for each possible combination of selected angle values. A combination of associations with the best possible agreement on the vehicle position is selected, whereby the position and direction of the vehicle is determined.

Title: Controlling a destination terminal from an originating terminal
Inventor: LAUZON ERIC
IPC: H04M3/42
Filed: 2000-12-21
Granted: 2010-04-13
Abstract: The amount of control that a calling party has over a destination terminal has been very restricted. For example, when making an extremely urgent call to a busy terminal, the caller is unable to free up the busy terminal by causing the call that is currently in progress to be dropped. The present invention provides a method by which an originating terminal is able to control a destination terminal by sending signalling protocol messages to that destination terminal. The caller associates computer software code with the signalling protocol messages such that when the messages are received at a destination processor the computer software code is executed (subject to any security and access requirements). For example, the messages may be improved SIP protocol messages with incorporated Java code. By selecting different computer software code for association with the messages, the caller is able to control the destination terminal. For example, to display information about the identity of the caller at the destination terminal; to modify the behaviour of the destination terminal according to the priority of the call; to take into account the configuration of the destination terminal, and to allow users to adjust this configuration from a remote location.

Abstract: In a synchronous cellular radio telecommunications network that employs a time division multiple access (TDMA) channel allocation scheme, an effective approach to allocating channels or time slots in a TDMA time frame containing asymmetric downlink and uplink traffic channel fields can be achieved by dividing the downlink and uplink traffic channel fields into a number of regions, based on an expected level of intercell interference associated with each region. In addition, the level of susceptibility to intercell interference for each mobile unit operating in a given cell is continuously established. The allocation of channels or time slots is then carried out for each of the mobile units based on, among other things, the level of susceptibility associated with each of the mobile units, the level of expected intercell interference associated with each of the regions, and whether the channel or time slot is being allocated for the purpose of conveying information in the uplink or downlink traffic channel field.

Abstract: A system and method for performing mobile node registration. The system comprises a terminal device (102) for transmitting packetized data, and a wireless communication device (104) coupled to said terminal device for monitoring said packetized data for an Internet Protocol (IP) address contained in an IP address request. The wireless communication device (104) initiates mobile node registration (512) using said IP address if said IP address request is for a static IP address. The wireless communication device prevents (417) the terminal device from sending or receiving packetized data when initiating mobile node registration, and allows said terminal device to send and received packetized data upon completion of mobile node registration. As a result, the mobile node registration occurs transparently to the terminal device, obviating the need for the terminal device to have its own Mobile IP support.
